Accreditation
The MICH Diploma Program provides you with what you need to be professionally accredited internationally.
The MICH Diploma Program meets and surpasses the requirements of ALL associations licensed to provide professional homeopathic accreditation internationally; for example the International Council of Classical Homeopathy (ICCH), the Syndicat professionnel des homéopathes du Québec (SPHQ – the official association representing the ICCH in the province of Quebec), the Council of Classical Homeopathy for accreditation in the US, and the European Council of Classical Homeopathy (ECCH). The Program also exceeds the requirements set forth by the College of Homeopaths in Ontario. Our teachers are active members of the College and every one of our graduates who applied was readily accepted into the order.
Here is a sampling of accrediting and validating organizations that recognize MICH for the quality of its education.

Members practicing in the United States and passing the criteria set by the CHC receive the designation CCH after their name.
